1 Composable Architecture

By using the XML, SOAP [SOAP11], [SOAP12], and WSDL [WSDL11] extensibility models, the Web service specifications (WS-*) are designed to be composed with each other to provide a rich set of tools for the Web services environment. This specification specifically relies on other Web service specifications to provide secure, reliable, and/or transacted message delivery and to express Web service and client policy.

2 Introduction

There are numerous applications for which a simple single-request/single-reply metaphor is insufficient for transferring large data sets over SOAP. Applications that do not fit into this simple paradigm include streaming, traversal, query, and enumeration.

This specification defines a simple SOAP-based protocol for enumeration that allows the data source to provide a session abstraction, called an enumeration context, to a consumer that represents a logical cursor through a sequence of data items. The consumer can then request XML element information items using this enumeration context over the span of one or more SOAP messages.

Somewhere, state MUST be maintained regarding the progress of the iteration. This state MAY be maintained between requests by the data source being enumerated or by the data consumer. WS-Enumeration allows the data source to decide, on a request-by-request basis, which party will be responsible for maintaining this state for the next request.

In its simplest form, WS-Enumeration defines an operation, EnumeratePull, used to establish the creation of an enumeration session or and another operation, Pull, which allows a data source, in the context of a specific enumeration, to produce a sequence of XML elements in the body of a SOAP message. Each subsequent Pull operation returns the next N elements in the aggregate sequence.

A data source MAY provide a custom mechanism for starting a new enumeration. For instance, a data source that provides access to a SQL database can support a SELECT operation that performs a database query and uses an explicit database cursor to iterate through the returned rows. In general, however, it is simpler if all data sources support a single, standard operation to start an enumeration. This specification mandates defines such an operation, Enumerate, that data sources MUST implement the Pull operation for starting a new enumeration of a data source. The Enumerate operation is used to create new enumeration contexts for subsequent traversal/retrieval. Each new enumeration Enumerate operation results in a distinct enumeration context, each with its own logical cursor/position.

Note that different enumerations of the same data source can produce different results; this can happen even for two enumeration contexts created concurrently by a single consumer using identical Enumerate Pull requests. The ordering or completeness of the enumeration is undefined; the returned data items represent a selection by the data source of items it wishes to present to that consumer at that time in that order, with no guarantee that every available item is returned or that the order in which items is returned has any semantic meaning whatsoever (of course, any specific data source can provide strong guarantees, if so desired). In particular, note that the very act of enumerating the contents of a data source can modify the contents of the data source; for instance, a queue might be represented as a data source such that items that are returned in a Pull response are removed from the queue.

2.1 Requirements

This specification intends to meet the following requirements:

·         Support enumeration of data sources that cannot practically fit into a single SOAP message.

·         Support both server-side and client-side enumeration state maintenance.

·         Minimize additional mechanism beyond the current web service architecture.

3 Notations and Terminology

This section specifies the notations, namespaces, and terminology used in this specification.

3.1 Notational Conventions

The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC 2119].

This specification uses the following syntax to define normative outlines for messages:

·         The syntax appears as an XML instance, but values in italics indicate data types instead of values.

·         Characters are appended to elements and attributes to indicate cardinality:

·         "?" (0 or 1)

·         "*" (0 or more)

·         "+" (1 or more)

·         The character "|" is used to indicate a choice between alternatives.

·         The characters "(" and ")" are used to indicate that contained items are to be treated as a group with respect to cardinality or choice.

·         The characters "[" and "]" are used to call out references and property names.

·         Ellipsis (i.e. "...") indicate points of extensibility.

·         XML namespace prefixes (see Table 3-1) are used to indicate the namespace of the element being defined.

In addition to Message Information Header properties [WS-Addressing], this specification uses the following properties to define messages:

[Headers]

Unordered message headers.

[Action]

The value to be used for the wsa:Action IRI.

[Body]

A message body.

These properties bind to a SOAP Envelope as follows:

<s:Envelope>

  <s:Header>

    [Headers]

    <wsa:Action>[Action]</wsa:Action>

    ...

  </s:Header>

  <s:Body>[Body]</s:Body>

</s:Envelope>

This specification can be used in terms of XML Information Set (Infoset) [XML Infoset], even though the specification uses XML 1.0 terminology. Valid Infoset for this specification is the one serializable in XML 1.0, hence the use of XML 1.0.

The term "generate" is used in relation to the various faults defined by this specification to imply that a fault is produced and no further processing SHOULD be performed. In these cases the fault SHOULD be transmitted. However, there might be reasons when a compliant implementation can choose not to transmit the fault - for example, security concerns - in these situations the service MAY choose not to transmit the fault.

3.2 Considerations on the Use of Extensibility Points

The elements defined in this specification MAY be extended at the points indicated by their outlines and schema. Implementations MAY add child elements and/or attributes at the indicated extension points but MUST NOT contradict the semantics of the parent and/or owner, respectively. If a receiver does not recognize an extension, the receiver SHOULD ignore that extension. Senders MAY indicate the presence of an extension that has to be understood through the use of a corresponding SOAP Header with a soap:mustUnderstand attribute with the value "1".

In cases where it is either desirable or necessary for the receiver of a request that has been extended to indicate that it has recognized and accepted the semantics associated with that extension, it is RECOMMENDED that the receiver add a corresponding extension to the response message. The definition of an extension SHOULD clearly specify how the extension that appears in the response correlates with that in the corresponding request.

Extension elements and attributes MUST NOT use the Web Services Enumeration namespace URI.

3.3 Terminology

Consumer

The Web service that is requesting the data enumeration from the data source

Data Source

A Web service that supports traversal using enumeration contexts via the Enumerate Pull operation defined in this specification

Enumeration context

A session context that represents a specific traversal through a logical sequence of XML element information items using the Pull operation defined in this specification

3.4 Compliance

An implementation is not compliant with this specification if it fails to satisfy one or more of the MUST or REQUIRED level requirements defined herein. A SOAP Node MUST NOT use the XML namespace identifier for this specification (listed in 3.5 XML Namespaces) within SOAP Envelopes unless it is compliant with this specification.

Normative text within this specification takes precedence over the XML Schema and WSDL descriptions, which in turn take precedence over outlines, which in turn take precedence over examples.

All messages defined by this specification MUST conform to the WS-Addressing specifications and be sent to a Web service that is addressable by an EPR (see [WS-Addressing]).

Unless otherwise noted, all IRIs are absolute IRIs and IRI comparison MUST be performed according to [RFC 3987] section 5.3.1.

For any message defined by this specification, any OPTIONAL elements or attributes in the message MAY be used by senders of the message; however receivers of those messages MUST support those OPTIONAL elements and attributes, unless other behavior is explicitly defined by this specification.

Implementations are expected to support both UTF-8 and UTF-16 as described in XML 1.0.

3.5 XML Namespaces

The XML namespace URI that MUST be used by implementations of this specification is:

Table 3-1 lists XML namespaces that are used in this specification. The choice of any namespace prefix is arbitrary and not semantically significant.

Once it has reached Candidate Recommendation status, the working group intends to maintain the value of the Web Services Enumeration namespace URI that was assigned in the Candidate Recommendation unless significant changes are made that impact the implementation or break post-CR implementations of the specification.

4 Enumeration Messages

Enumeration contexts represent a specific traversal through a sequence of XML information items. An Enumerate Pull operation can be used to establish an enumeration context from a data source. A subsequent Pull operation is used to fetch information items from a data source according to a specific enumeration context. A Release operation is used to tell a data source that the consumer is abandoning an enumeration context before it has completed the enumeration.

Enumeration contexts are represented as XML data that is opaque to the consumer. Initially, the consumer gets an enumeration context from the data source by means of an PullEnumerate operation. The consumer then passes that XML data back to the data source in subsequentthe Pull requests. Optionally, the data source MAY return an updated enumeration context in the Pull response; when present, this new enumeration context MUST replace the old one on the consumer, and MUST be passed to the data source in all future requests until and unless the data source again returns an updated enumeration context.

Callers MAY issue a Release operation against a valid enumeration context at any time, which causes the enumeration context to become invalid and allows the data source to free up any resources it might have allocated to the enumeration. Issuing a Release operation prior to reaching the end of the sequence of elements is explicitly allowed; however, no further operations MUST be issued after a Release.

An enumeration context can become invalid for any reason including:

1.    Enumeration completed (i.e. an EndOfSequence has been returned in a Pull response)

2.    Enumeration released

3.    Enumeration expired

4.    Enumeration ended (i.e. ended via an EnumerationEnd message from data source)

5.    Enumeration context replaced in the response to another Pull request

In addition, the data source MAY invalidate an enumeration context at any time, as necessary.

When processing a Pull, Renew, GetStatus or Release operation, a data source MUST generate an wsen:InvalidEnumerationContext fault if it determines that the enumeration context supplied by the consumer in the request is invalid.

Note that the data source might not be able to determine that an enumeration context is invalid, especially if all of the state associated with the enumeration is kept in the enumeration context and refreshed on every PullResponse or RenewResponse.

Once a consumer determines that an enumeration context is invalid, it MUST NOT issue any more WS-Enumeration request messages referencing that enumeration context.

4.1 Enumerate

This specification defines the Enumerate operation to start an enumeration. This operation MUST be supported by compliant data sources.

The Enumerate operation is initiated by sending an Enumerate request message to the data source. The Enumerate request message MUST be of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Enumerate

 

[Body]

  <wsen:Enumerate ...>

    <wsen:EndTo>endpoint-reference</wsen:EndTo> ?

    <wsen:Expires BestEffort="xs:boolean"? ...>

      (xs:dateTime | xs:duration)

    </wsen:Expires> ?

    <wsen:Filter Dialect="xs:anyURI"?> xs:any </wsen:Filter> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:Enumerate>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:EndTo

This OPTIONAL element denotes where to send an EnumerationEnd message if the enumeration is terminated unexpectedly (see 4.6 EnumerationEnd). If present, this element MUST be of type wsa:EndpointReferenceType. Default is to not send this message. The endpoint to which the EndTo EPR refers MUST support the EnumerationEndPortType portType. Unless some mechanism is used to indicate otherwise, the messages sent to this endpoint MUST use the same version of SOAP that was used for the Enumerate message.

If the data source does not support the use of the EndTo EPR, the data source MUST generate a wsen:EndToNotSupported fault.

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Expires

This OPTIONAL element can be used by the consumer to indicate the expiration time of the requested enumeration. If this element is not present, the implied default expiration time is indefinite. A value of PT0S indicates a request for an indefinite expiration time.

If the data source does not support the wsen:Expires element being present in an Enumerate request message then a wsen:ExpiresNotSupported fault MUST be generated.

If the wsen:Expires element is present and the data source is not able to grant an expiration time that matches the specified value then it MUST generate a wsen:UnsupporedExpirationValue fault.

The value of the wsen:Expires element MAY be either a duration (xs:duration) or a specific time (xs:dateTime). Data sources MUST accept duration values and MAY accept specific time values. Upon receiving a request that contains specific time values, a data source that does not support such value types MUST fail the request and generate a wsen:UnsupportedExpirationType fault.

If a consumer chooses to use specific time values in a request, it is RECOMMENDED that these values include a time zone component. Specific time values that lack a time zone MUST be interpreted in the local time zone of the receiver.

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Expires@BestEffort

This OPTIONAL attribute, when present with a value of 'true', indicates that the data source MUST grant an expiration time that is its best effort to match the requested expiration time. Default value of this attribute is "false" in which case the data source MUST grant the requested expiration time or fault the enumeration request as defined above.

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter

This OPTIONAL element contains a Boolean predicate in some dialect (see [[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter/@Dialect ]) that all elements of interest MUST satisfy. The resultant enumeration context MUST NOT return elements for which this predicate expression evaluates to the value false. If this element is absent, then the implied value is the expression true(), indicating that no filtering is desired.

If the data source does not support filtering, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a wsen:FilteringNotSupported fault.

If the data source supports filtering but cannot honor the requested filter dialect, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a wsen:FilterDialectRequestedUnavailable fault.

If the data source supports filtering and the requested dialect but cannot process the requested filter content, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a wsen:CannotProcessFilter fault.

It is possible for an Enumerate request to contain a filter that will never evaluate to true for the lifetime of the enumeration. If a data source detects this condition it MUST generate a wsen:EmptyFilter fault in response to the Enumerate request message.

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter/@Dialect

Implied value is "http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Dialects/XPath10".

If filtering is supported, then support for the XPath 1.0 dialect (described below) is RECOMMENDED. Alternate filter dialects can be defined. Such dialect definitions MUST include sufficient information for proper application. For example, it would need to define the context (which data) over which the filter operates.

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter/@Dialect=" http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Dialects/XPath10

Value of [Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter is an XPath [XPath1.0] predicate expression (PredicateExpr); the context of the expression is:

·            Context Node: any XML element that could be returned as a direct child of the wsen:Items element.

·            Context Position: 1.

·            Context Size: 1.

·            Variable Bindings: None.

·            Function Libraries: Core Function Library [XPath1.0].

·            Namespace Declarations: The [in-scope namespaces] property [XML Infoset] of [Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter.

The namespace bindings are evaluated against any namespace declarations that are in scope where the XPath expression appears within the SOAP message. Note that the evaluation of expressions that rely on such context dependent bindings is fragile in the face of transformations that alter namespace prefixes. Such transformations might occur during the transmission, processing, storage, or retrieval of a request. Clients that wish to isolate expressions from the effects of any changes to the namespace prefixes in the containing SOAP message are advised to construct expressions in a manner that avoids the use of namespace prefixes. For example, use an expression such as "/a[namespace-uri()='http://www.example.com']" not "/ns1:a".

[Body]/wsen:Enumerate/wsen:Filter/@Dialect=" http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Dialects/XPath20

This filter dialect is the same as the XPath 1.0 filter dialect except that it uses [XPath2.0] instead of XPath 1.0 as the expression language.

Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

If included within the Enumerate request message, the wsen:EndTo SHOULD have some cursory validity checking performed before the Enumerate response is returned. While not all errors can be detected prior to sending a message to that EPR, some obvious ones can be detected. For example, an unsupported transport specified within the wsa:Address IRI. Detecting these errors during Enumerate processing will lessen the chances of the consumer creating an unusable enumeration. If this check is performed and a problem is detected then the data source MUST generate a wsen:UnusableEPR fault rather than returning the EnumerateResponse message.

Upon successful processing of an Enumerate request message, a data source MUST create an enumeration context and return that context in an Enumerate response message of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/EnumerateResponse

 

[Body]

  <wsen:EnumerateResponse ...>

    <wsen:GrantedExpires ...>

      (xs:dateTime | xs:duration)

    </wsen:GrantedExpires> ?

    <wsen:EnumerationContext ...>...</wsen:EnumerationContext>

    xs:any*

  </wsen:EnumerateResponse>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

[Body]/wsen:EnumerateResponse/wsen:GrantedExpires

The expiration time assigned by the data source. The expiration time MAY be either a specific time or a duration but MUST be of the same type as the wsen:Expires element of the corresponding request. If the corresponding request did not contain a wsen:Expires element, this element MUST be a duration (xs:duration).

When expressed as a duration, the wsen:GrantedExpires element designates a time interval that began at the moment the enumeration is created. Although this specification cannot dictate when, during the processing of a Enumerate request, an enumeration is created, the data source MUST start the expiration interval at or before it transmits the wsen:EnumerateResponse message.

If this element does not appear, then the enumeration will not expire. That is, the enumeration has an indefinite lifetime. Likewise, a value of PT0S indicates that the enumeration will not expire. It will terminate when the end of the enumeration is reached, or if the consumer sends a Release request, or by the data source at any time for reasons such as connection termination, resource constraints, or system shut-down.

[Body]/wsen:EnumerateResponse/wsen:EnumerationContext

The REQUIRED EnumerationContext element contains the XML representation of the new enumeration context. The consumer is REQUIRED to pass this XML data in Pull requests for this enumeration context, until and unless a PullResponse or RenewResponse message updates the enumeration context.

Example 4-1 lists a sample Enumerate request.

Lines (05-07) in Example 4-1 indicate this message is an Enumerate request and that the data source is expected to respond with an Enumerate response message. The wsen:Expires element on line (20) indicates that the consumer would like an enumeration context that will be good for 10 minutes. No wsen:Filter element is present, so the resultant enumeration context is expected to return all available elements.

Lines (05-07) in Example 4-2 indicate this message is an Enumerate response message. Line (17) indicates that the data source has created an enumeration context with a lifetime of 10 minutes. Lines (18-20) are the XML representation of the enumeration context that supports the Pull operation defined below.

4.2 Pull

The Pull operation is initiated by sending a Pull request message to the data source. This operation MUST be supported by compliant data sources. The Pull request message MUST be of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Pull

 

[Body]

  <wsen:Pull ...>

    ( <wsen:NewContext>

    <wsen:MaxElements>xs:long</wsen:MaxElements> ?

    <wsen:MaxCharacters>xs:long</wsen:MaxCharacters> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:Pull>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

 [Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:EnumerationContext

This REQUIRED element contains the XML data that represents the current enumeration context. [Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext

This OPTIONAL element contains the information necessary to create a new Enumeration.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:EndTo

This OPTIONAL element denotes where to send an EnumerationEnd message if the enumeration is terminated unexpectedly (see 4.6 EnumerationEnd). If present, this element MUST be of type wsa:EndpointReferenceType. Default is to not send this message. The endpoint to which the EndTo EPR refers MUST support the EnumerationEndPortType portType. Unless some mechanism is used to indicate otherwise, the messages sent to this endpoint MUST use the same version of SOAP that was used for the Pull message.

If the data source does not support the use of the EndTo EPR, the data source MUST generate a wsen:EndToNotSupported fault.

If included within the EnumeratePull request message, the wsen:EndTo SHOULD have some cursory validity checking performed before the EnumeratePull response is returned. While not all errors can be detected prior to sending a message to that EPR, some obvious ones can be detected. For example, an unsupported transport specified within the wsa:Address IRI. Detecting these errors during EnumeratePull processing will lessen the chances of the consumer creating an unusable enumeration. If this check is performed and a problem is detected then the data source MUST generate a wsen:UnusableEPR fault rather than returning the EnumeratePullResponse message.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:Expires

This OPTIONAL element can be used by the consumer to indicate the expiration time of the requested enumeration. If this element is not present, the implied default expiration time is indefinite. A value of PT0S indicates a request for an indefinite expiration time.

If the data source does not support the wsen:Expires element being present in an Pull request message then a wsen:ExpiresNotSupported fault MUST be generated.

If the wsen:Expires element is present and the data source is not able to grant an expiration time that matches the specified value then it MUST generate a wsen:UnsupporedExpirationValue fault.

The value of the wsen:Expires element MAY be either a duration (xs:duration) or a specific time (xs:dateTime). Data sources MUST accept duration values and MAY accept specific time values. Upon receiving a request that contains specific time values, a data source that does not support such value types MUST fail the request and generate a wsen:UnsupportedExpirationType fault.

If a consumer chooses to use specific time values in a request, it is RECOMMENDED that these values include a time zone component. Specific time values that lack a time zone MUST be interpreted in the local time zone of the receiver.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:Expires@BestEffort

Default value of this attribute is "false" in which case the data source MUST grant the requested expiration time or fault the enumeration request as defined above.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:Filter

This OPTIONAL element contains a Boolean predicate in some dialect (see [[Body]/wsen:Pull/ wsen:NewContext/wsen:Filter/@Dialect ]) that all elements of interest MUST satisfy. The resultant enumeration context MUST NOT return elements for which this predicate expression evaluates to the value false. If this element is absent, then the implied value is the expression true(), indicating that no filtering is desired.

If the data source does not support filtering, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a wsen:FilteringNotSupported fault.

If the data source supports filtering but cannot honor the requested filter dialect, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a wsen:FilterDialectRequestedUnavailable fault.

If the data source supports filtering and the requested dialect but cannot process the requested filter content, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a wsen:CannotProcessFilter fault.

It is possible for an Pull request to contain a filter that will never evaluate to true for the lifetime of the enumeration. If a data source detects this condition it MUST generate a wsen:EmptyFilter fault in response to the Pull request message.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:Filter/@Dialect

Implied value is "http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Dialects/XPath10".

If filtering is supported, then support for the XPath 1.0 dialect (described below) is RECOMMENDED. Alternate filter dialects can be defined. Such dialect definitions MUST include sufficient information for proper application. For example, it would need to define the context (which data) over which the filter operates.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:Filter/@Dialect=" http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Dialects/XPath10

Value of [Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:Filter is an XPath [XPath1.0] predicate expression (PredicateExpr); the context of the expression is:

·         Context Node: any XML element that could be returned as a direct child of the wsen:Items element.

·         Context Position: 1.

·         Context Size: 1.

·         Variable Bindings: None.

·         Function Libraries: Core Function Library [XPath1.0].

·         Namespace Declarations: The [in-scope namespaces] property [XML Infoset] of [Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:Filter.

The namespace bindings are evaluated against any namespace declarations that are in scope where the XPath expression appears within the SOAP message. Note that the evaluation of expressions that rely on such context dependent bindings is fragile in the face of transformations that alter namespace prefixes. Such transformations might occur during the transmission, processing, storage, or retrieval of a request. Clients that wish to isolate expressions from the effects of any changes to the namespace prefixes in the containing SOAP message are advised to construct expressions in a manner that avoids the use of namespace prefixes. For example, use an expression such as "/a[namespace-uri()='http://www.example.com']" not "/ns1:a".

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:Filter/@Dialect=" http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Dialects/XPath20

This filter dialect is the same as the XPath 1.0 filter dialect except that it uses [XPath2.0] instead of XPath 1.0 as the expression language.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:EnumerationContext

This OPTIONAL element contains the XML data that represents the current enumeration context. Note, a Pull request MUST have either a wsen:EnumerationContext element or a wsen:NewContext element.

 [Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:MaxTime

This OPTIONAL element (of type xs:duration) indicates the maximum amount of time the consumer is willing to allow the data source to assemble the Pull response. When this element is absent, the data source is NOT REQUIRED to limit the amount of time it takes to assemble the Pull response. The data source MUST recognize the wsen:MaxTime element and return a wsen:TimedOut fault if no elements are available prior to the request message's deadline. However, this fault MUST NOT cause the enumeration context to become invalid and the consumer can issue additional Pull requests using this enumeration context after receiving this fault.

This is useful with data sources that accumulate elements over time and package them into a single Pull response.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:MaxElements

This OPTIONAL element (of type xs:long) indicates the number of items (child elements of wsen:Items in the Pull response) the consumer is willing to accept. When this element is absent, its implied value is 1. Implementations MUST NOT return more than this number of elements in the Pull response message. Implementations MAY return fewer than this number based on either the wsen:MaxTime timeout, the wsen:MaxCharacters size limit, or implementation-specific constraints.

Note that a value of zero MAY, along with a wsen:NewContext element, MAY be used to create a new enumeration without retrieving any of the data items.

[Body]/wsen:Pull/wsen:MaxCharacters

This OPTIONAL element (of type xs:long) indicates the maximum size of the returned elements, in Unicode characters, that the consumer is willing to accept. When this element is absent, the data source is NOT REQUIRED to limit the number of characters in the Pull response. Implementations MUST NOT return a Pull response message whose wsen:Items element, and all of its children, is larger than MaxCharacters. Implementations MAY return a smaller message based on the wsen:MaxTime timeout, the wsen:MaxElements limit, or implementation-specific constraints.

Even if a Pull request contains a MaxCharacters element, the consumer MUST be prepared to receive a Pull response that contains more data characters than specified, as XML canonicalization or alternate XML serialization algorithms can change the size of the representation.

It can happen that the next item the data source would return to the consumer is larger than MaxCharacters. In this case, the data source MAY skip the item, or MAY return an abbreviated representation of the item that fits inside MaxCharacters. If the data source skips the item, it MAY return it as part of the response to a future Pull request with a larger value of MaxCharacters, or it MAY omit it entirely from the enumeration. If the oversized item is the last item to be returned for this enumeration context and the data source skips it, it MUST include the wsen:EndOfSequence item in the Pull response and invalidate the enumeration context. See the discussion of wsen:EndOfSequence below.

Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

Upon successful processing of a Pull request message, a data source MUST return a Pull response message of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/PullResponse

 

[Body]

  <wsen:PullResponse ...>

    <wsen:GrantedExpires ...>

      (xs:dateTime | xs:duration)

    </wsen:GrantedExpires> ?

    <wsen:EnumerationContext ...>...</wsen:EnumerationContext> ?

 

    <wsen:Items>

      <xs:any> enumeration-specific element </xs:any> +

    </wsen:Items> ?

    <wsen:EndOfSequence/> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:PullResponse>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

[Body]/wsen:PullEnumerateResponse/wsen:GrantedExpires

This element is tThe expiration time assigned by the data source for the new enumeration. The expiration time MAY be either a specific time or a duration but MUST be of the same type as the wsen:Expires element of the corresponding request. If the corresponding request did not contain a wsen:Expires element, this element MUST be a duration (xs:duration).

When expressed as a duration, the wsen:GrantedExpires element designates a time interval that began at the moment the enumeration is created. Although this specification cannot dictate when, during the processing of a EnumeratePull request, an enumeration is created, the data source MUST start the expiration interval at or before it transmits the wsen:EnumeratePullResponse message.

If this element does not appear, then the enumeration will not expire. That is, the enumeration has an indefinite lifetime. Likewise, a value of PT0S indicates that the enumeration will not expire. It will terminate when the end of the enumeration is reached, or if the consumer sends a Release request, or by the data source at any time for reasons such as connection termination, resource constraints, or system shut-down.

 

Note that a wsen:GrantedExpires element MUST only appear in a PullResponse message if the corresponding Pull request message included a wsen:NewContext element.

[Body]/wsen:PullResponse/wsen:EnumerationContext

The OPTIONAL EnumerationContext element, if present, contains a new XML representation of the current enumeration context. The consumer MUST replace the prior representation, if any, with the contents of this element.

[Body]/wsen:PullResponse/wsen:Items/xs:any

The OPTIONAL Items element contains one or more enumeration-specific elements, one for each element being returned.

[Body]/wsen:PullResponse/wsen:EndOfSequence

This OPTIONAL element indicates that no more elements are available from this enumeration and the enumeration context sent by the consumer in the request becomes invalid.

Note that at least one of wsen:Items or wsen:EndOfSequence MUST appear. It is possible for both to appear if items are returned and the sequence is exhausted. Similarly, wsen:EnumerationContext and wsen:EndOfSequence MUST NOT both appear; neither can appear, or one without the other, but not both in the same PullResponse.

Example 4-1 lists a sample EnumeratePull request.

4.3 Renew

To update, or renew, the expiration for an enumeration, a Renew request message is sent to the data source. This operation MUST be supported by compliant data sources. The Renew request message MUST be of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Renew

 

[Body]

  <wsen:Renew ...>

    <wsen:EnumerationContext ...>...</wsen:EnumerationContext>

    <wsen:Expires BestEffort="xs:boolean"? ...>

      (xs:dateTime | xs:duration)

    </wsen:Expires> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:Renew>

Components of the outline listed above are additionally constrained as for a request to create an enumeration (see 4.1 Enumerate4.1 Pull) with the following addition(s):

[Body]/wsen:Renew/wsen:EnumerationContext

This REQUIRED element contains the XML data that represents the current enumeration context.

Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

If the data source accepts a request to renew an enumeration, it MUST reply with a response of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/RenewResponse

 

[Body]

  <wsen:RenewResponse ...>

    <wsen:GrantedExpires ...>

      (xs:dateTime | xs:duration)

    </wsen:GrantedExpires> ?

    <wsen:EnumerationContext ...>...</wsen:EnumerationContext> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:RenewResponse>

Components of the outline listed above are constrained as for a response to an Enumerate Pull request (see 4.1 Enumerate4.1 Pull) with the following addition:

[Body]/wsen:RenewResponse/wsen:EnumerationContext

This element is OPTIONAL in this response.

If the data source chooses not to renew this enumeration, the request MUST fail, and the data source MUST generate a SOAP 1.1 Server fault or a SOAP 1.2 Receiver fault indicating that the renewal was not accepted.

Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

4.4 GetStatus

To get the status of an enumeration, the consumer sends a GetStatus request message to the data source. This operation MUST be supported by compliant data sources. The message MUST be of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/GetStatus

 

[Body]

  <wsen:GetStatus ...>

    <wsen:EnumerationContext ...>...</wsen:EnumerationContext> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:GetStatus>

Components of the outline listed above are additionally constrained as for a request to renew an enumeration (see 4.3 Renew). Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

If the enumeration is valid the data source MUST reply with a response of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/GetStatusResponse

 

[Body]

  <wsen:GetStatusResponse ...>

    <wsen:GrantedExpires ...>

      (xs:dateTime | xs:duration)

    </wsen:GrantedExpires> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:GetStatusResponse>

Components of the outline listed above are constrained as for a response to a renew request (see 4.3 Renew). Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

This operation is safe; it will not result in any side effect imputable to the consumer. This means that in case of an underlying protocol error that might get unnoticed, resending the same request can be done automatically.

4.5 Release

The Release operation is initiated by sending a Release request message to the data source. This operation MUST be supported by compliant data sources. The Release request message MUST be of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/Release

 

[Body]

  <wsen:Release ...>

    <wsen:EnumerationContext ...>...</wsen:EnumerationContext>

    xs:any*

  </wsen:Release>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

[Body]/wsen:Release/wsen:EnumerationContext

This REQUIRED element contains the XML data that represents the enumeration context being abandoned.

Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

Upon successful processing of a Release request message, a data source MUST return a Release response message of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/ReleaseResponse

 

[Body]

  <wsen:ReleaseResponse ...>

    xs:any*

  </wsen:ReleaseResponse>

(17)   </s:Body>

(18) </s:Envelope>

Lines (05-07) in Example 4-6 indicate this message is a Release response message.

4.6 EnumerationEnd

If the data source terminates an enumeration unexpectedly, and it supports the use of the EndTo EPR, and the EndTo EPR was present in the Enumerate Pull message for that enumeration (see 4.1 Enumerate4.1 Pull), the EnumerationEnd message MUST be sent to the endpoint reference indicated by that EPR.

Note, a enumeration context expiring as expected is not considered to be an unexpected termination, therefore a EnumerationEnd message MUST NOT be sent in this case.

The message MUST be of the following form:

[Action]

  http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/EnumerationEnd

 

[Body]

  <wsen:EnumerationEnd ...>

    <wsen:Code>

      ( http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/SourceShuttingDown |

        http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/SourceCancelling |

        xs:anyURI )

    </wsen:Code>

    <wsen:Reason xml:lang="language identifier" >

      xs:string

    </wsen:Reason> ?

    xs:any*

  </wsen:EnumerationEnd>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

[Body]/wsen:EnumerationEnd/wsen:Code = "http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/SourceShuttingDown"

This value MUST be used if the data source terminated the enumeration because the source is being shut down in a controlled manner; that is, if the data source is being shut down but has the opportunity to send an EnumerationEnd message before it exits.

[Body]/wsen:EnumerationEnd/wsen:Code = "http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/SourceCancelling"

This value MUST be used if the data source terminated the enumeration for some other reason before it expired.

[Body]/wsen:EnumerationEnd/wsen:Reason

This OPTIONAL element contains text, in the language specified by the @xml:lang attribute, describing the reason for the unexpected enumeration termination.

Other components of the outline above are not further constrained by this specification.

5 Faults

All fault messages defined in this specification MUST be sent according to the rules and usage described in [WS-Addressing 1.0 SOAP Binding] Section 6 for encoding SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 faults. The [Action] property below MUST be used for faults defined in this specification:

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/edcopies/ws-enu/fault

The definitions of faults in this section use the following properties:

[Code] The fault code.
[Subcode] The fault subcode.
[Reason] The English language reason element.
[Detail] The detail element. If absent, no detail element is defined for the fault.

For SOAP 1.2, the [Code] property MUST be either "Sender" or "Receiver". These properties are serialized into text XML as follows:

SOAP Version

Sender

Receiver

SOAP 1.2

s12:Sender

s12:Receiver

The properties above bind to a SOAP 1.2 fault as follows:

<s12:Envelope>

  <s12:Header>

    <wsa:Action> [Action] </wsa:Action>

    <!-- Headers elided for brevity. -->

  </s12:Header>

  <s12:Body>

    <s12:Fault>

      <s12:Code>

        <s12:Value>[Code]</s12:Value>

        <s12:Subcode>

        [Detail]

        ...

      </s12:Detail>

    </s12:Fault>

  </s12:Body>

</s12:Envelope>

The properties bind to a SOAP 1.1 fault as follows:

<s11:Envelope>

  <s11:Body>

    <s11:Fault>

      <faultcode>[Subcode]</faultcode>

      <faultstring xml:lang="en">[Reason]</faultstring>

      </detail>

    </s11:Fault>

  </s11:Body>

</s11:Envelope>

5.1 ExpiresNotSupported

This fault MUST be generated when a request specified an expiration but the data source does not support Expires.

[Code]

s12:Sender

[Subcode]

wsen:ExpiresNotSupported

6 Security Considerations

This specification considers two sets of security requirements, those of the applications that use the WS-Enumeration protocol and those of the protocol itself.

This specification makes no assumptions about the security requirements of the applications that use WS-Enumeration. However, once those requirements have been satisfied within a given operational context, the addition of WS-Enumeration to this operational context can not undermine the fulfillment of those requirements; the use of WS-Enumeration SHOULD NOT create additional attack vectors within an otherwise secure system.

The material below is not a "check list". There are many other security concerns that need to be considered when implementing or using this protocol. Implementers and users of this protocol are urged to perform a security analysis to determine their particular threat profile and the appropriate responses to those threats.

6.1 Creating Enumeration Contexts

An enumeration represents a logical cursor through a sequence of data items. If the information in these items is sensitive, it is advisable to for Data Sources to authenticate and authorize Consumers as part of the processing of the Enumerate Pull request. Note that a Data Source might authorize retrievals on a per-item basis after the enumeration has been created. This might be necessary in cases where the sensitivity of the information requested might not be known at the time the Enumerate Pull request is processed or varies during the lifetime of the enumeration.

6.2 Protecting Enumeration Contexts

Once created, it is advisable to treat Enumeration Contexts as protected resources. Renew, GetStatus, and Release requests ought to be authenticated and authorized (for example, the identity of the requester ought to be checked against the identity of the entity that performed the original Enumerate Pull request). Likewise EnumerationEnd messages ought to be authenticated and authorized (for example, the identity of the sender ought to be checked against the identity the entity that sent the original EnumerateResponse PullResponse message). Note that authentication and authorization policies (i.e. the rules that define which entities are allowed to perform which requests and the mechanisms by which the identities of these entities are discovered and verified) are particular to individual deployments.

Enumeration Contexts are also sensitive because of the way they are used to maintain or reference the state of active Enumerations. Attackers able to snoop or guess the value of an Enumeration Context could use this information to Pull data items in that Enumeration. To defend against the misuse of snooped/guessed Enumeration Contexts, Data Sources are advised to authenticate and authorize clients sending Pull requests.

6.3 Endpoint Verification

Data Source implementations that perform validity checks on the EndTo EPR used in the Enumerate Pull request are advised that such checks can be misused to obtain information about a target network. For example, suppose a Data Source implementation verifies the address of EndTo EPRs by attempting to create a connection to this EPR's address and faulting the Enumerate Pull request if a connection cannot be created. When deployed within a DMZ, such a Data Source could be exploited by a malicious Consumer to probe for other, non-visible hosts by guessing target addresses and using them in Enumerate Pull requests. Note that, even if the returned fault does not provide connection information, the time the Data Source spends processing the Enumerate Pull request might betray the existence or non-existence of a host at the target address.

Implementations that perform validity checks on the EndTo EPR are advised to provide a means to disable such checks in environments where these types of attacks are an issue.

7 WS-Enumeration Metadata

An endpoint MAY indicate its support of WS-Enumeration, or its features, by including the WS-Enumeration DataSource Policy assertion within its WSDL. By doing so the endpoint is indicating that the corresponding WS-Enumeration operations are supported by that endpoint even though they are implicit and do not explicitly appear in its WSDL (i.e. the WS-Enumeration operations do not appear in the WSDL that MAY be retrievable by using a WS-MetadataExchange GetWSDL to that endpoint).

The WS-Enumeration WSDL containing the operations indicated by the Enumeration Assertion MAY be exposed by including the WSDL as a child of the DataSource Policy assertion or by including a reference to it using the mex:Location or mex:Reference element (as described in WS-MetadataExchange [WS-MetadataExchange] Section 9).

This WS-Enumeration WSDL can be annotated to indicate any endpoint specific metadata that might be needed by clients interacting with the WS-Enumeration operations. For example, the WSDL MAY have policy assertions that indicate a particular security mechanism used to protect the WS-Enumeration operations supported by this endpoint.

7.1 Enumeration Assertion

Services indicate support for the WS-Enumeration's definition of a data source through the use of the Web Services Policy - Framework [WS-Policy] and Web Services Policy - Attachment [WS-Policy Attachment] specifications.

This specification defines a policy assertion (wsen:DataSource). The normative outline of this assertion is:

<wsen:DataSource ...>

 <wsen:FilterDialect URI="xs:anyURI" ...>

   xs:any*

 </wsen:FilterDialect> *

 <wsen:ExpiresSupported .../> ?

 <wsen:DateTimeSupported .../> ?

 <wsen:MaxExpires ...> xs:duration </wsen:MaxExpires> ?

 <wsen:MaxTime ...> xs:duration </wsen:MaxTime> ?

 <wsen:MaxElements ...> xs:long </wsen:MaxElements> ?

 <wsen:MaxCharacters ...> xs:long </wsen:MaxCharacters> ?

 <wsen:EndToSupported .../> ?

 xs:any*

</wsen:DataSource>

The following describes additional, normative constraints on the outline listed above:

/wsen:DataSource

This policy assertion has Endpoint Policy Subject. When present in a policy alternative, it indicates that the subject is a data source and the WS-Enumeration protocol MUST be used when communicating with this endpoint.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:FilterDialect

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates support for the specified Filter Dialect IRI.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:FilterDialect/xs:any

This extensibility point allows for additional FilterDialect specific metadata to be included within the policy assertion. Any metadata that appears is scoped to the use of the specified FilterDialect URI.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:ExpiresSupported

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates support for Expiration element on the Enumerate Pull and Renew operations.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:ExpiresSupported

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates support for Expires element on the Enumerate Pull and Renew operations.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:DateTimeSupported

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates support for expiration time expressed as specific time (rather than duration).

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:MaxExpires

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates the maximum lifetime of enumerations that this endpoint will support. The implied default is indefinite. Note: a value of "PT0S" indicates that this endpoint supports enumerations with an infinite lifetime.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:MaxTime

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates the maximum MaxTime value supported by this endpoint. The implied default is indefinite. Note: a value of "PT0S" indicates that this endpoint supports any duration value.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:MaxElements

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates the maximum MaxElements value supported by this endpoint. The value specified MUST be greater than zero.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:MaxCharacters

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates the maximum MaxCharacters value supported by this endpoint. The value specified MUST be greater than zero.

/wsen:DataSource/wsen:EndToSupported

When present, this OPTIONAL parameter indicates support for the /wsen:EnumeratePull/wsen:NewContext/wsen:EndTo semantics. That is, when an enumerate Pull request contains a wsen:EndTo element, a EnumerationEnd message will be sent to the EPR contained in the wsen:EndTo element, if the enumeration terminates unexpectedly.

/wsen:DataSource/xs:any

This extensibility point allows for additional WS-Enumeration specific metadata to be included within the policy assertion - e.g. WS-Enumeration WSDL, or nested policy assertions related to the WS-Enumeration message exchanges. Any metadata that appears is scoped to the operations and features of the WS-Enumeration specification.

C Action Tables

The purpose of the action tables is to illustrate, via a separate means from the normative text, the allowable order and interactions of various messages and activities. The action tables are not intended to constrain implementations beyond those necessary to insure this ordering.

·         Actions are represented as columns.

·         Triggers (messages, application actions, timer events) are represented as rows. Triggers are annotated by their type; "[app]" - represents an application action (e.g. a user selecting a "EnumeratePull" menu item); "[msg]" - represents an incoming, WS-Enumeration defined, message; "[timer]" - represents an internal timer event.

·         Each cell describes the appropriate action for a given state and trigger. Where the action is dependent upon other factors than the state and trigger (e.g. the value of a fault message), the activity is described in pseudo-code. The section of the specification that describes these activities is displayed in curly brackets (e.g. "{4.2}").

·         Empty box indicates that the spec is silent for the specified trigger/action pair.
